You are right it is another way of installing apps that can be installed under public_html. It makes the process a lot simpler. If I were to install wordpress in html I would have to mess around with adding and configuring the database. In reality I would ask you to do it. With Sandstorm I can just click install and start playing around with it.

It is a security issue. If installed on our space, it's not running with your UID, it runs with ours. Then any flaw in code you install ends up compromising every other application on our site, not good. If installed on your directory, it runs under your UID. Any bad code only affects your apps not every other customers.

Incidentally, if you do need a database, just send e-mail to support@eskimo.com with the desired password and I will set it up for you. Same if you need help setting up any web application.

I do things differently here for a variety of reasons. If you go to facebook and subscribe for example to WordPress Security, you'll find out just about everybody and their brother has hacked wordpress sites. This has to do with a variety of bad choices they and their hosting providers make ranging from Cpanel, which will convenient allows you to setup your site very insecurely and also plays badly with X-windows introducing some security issues of it's own. If you go to WordPress Speed, you'll find people think a page load speed of 600ms is a good thing, here the average page load speed is 104ms.

There are downsides to doing things the way I do, it makes them less convenient. But if you're trying to run a web based business, how fast your page responds figures very much into Google rankings, and if your page is hacked, it figures very poorly into your customers trusting you with things like credit card data.

Since I've received several additional requests, obviously there is interest in this. So I'm going to try to install with a dedicated IP. This won't stop sandstorm apps from interfering with each other but it will prevent them from compromising the rest of the site.
